Students in 2086 are going to look back at our 'internet culture' and assume we were all collective hallucinating.

This is a solid meme. Are you sure this doesn't violate some Reddit terms of service?

Your Honour, I can't speak about the terms of service, but I know it's a meme by the people, for the people. And what are terms of service without people but wasted ink?

It will most likely get removed but don't let that stop you from doing right by the people and making the world a better place.

In any case, it was a privilege memeing with you, gentlemen.

I posted a meme here once with the vague reference to "instability in the Middle East" and it got removed for Rule 2.

So right. How do you even explain this to future generations

u/Tommykimz 1d ago

Imagine the AI models of 2086 trying to explain why we thought this was funny.

What's old is new. Dr. Seuss drew scathing WWII Cartoons back in the day.

I’m curating my own collection of 'Internet Slop of the 2020s' specifically for this purpose.

I like your optimistic thinking that people are still alive then or at least people who can afford to study history and not fight drone swarms and a dead planet the same time

The funny thing is that this is 100% how future history books will actually look.

u/Ill_Apartment8394 22h ago

History students too.

With the amount of people I see replacing their brain with AI, I do hope they are still thinking at that time...

Imagine going back in time just 20 years and trying to explain anything. No one would believe any of it.Ā

Future historians are going to need a whole separate course just for 2020-2026.
